Things pottery has taught me about treating acne:

🌀 You can't force the shape. Push too hard, too fast, and the whole thing collapses. Acne is the same. Aggressive scrubbing, stacking 7 actives, picking at every bump? That's how you turn a manageable breakout into months of healing.

🌀 The centre matters. If your clay isn't centred on the wheel, nothing you build on top will hold. In acne care, the "centre" is your gut, your hormones, your stress, your sleep. Treat those, and the surface follows.

🌀 It takes longer than you think. A bowl takes minutes to throw, days to dry, hours to fire. Skin takes a full cycle (about 28 days) to turn over and acne treatment often takes 3 cycles before you see the real magic.

🌀 Beautiful things come from messy beginnings. Every piece I've ever loved started as a lump of wet clay. Every clear-skin journey I've ever guided started somewhere uncomfortable.

If your skin's in the "messy lump of clay" stage right now - I see you. And I promise it's not the final shape. 💛

The thing my acne clients tell me most often, a few months in: ⁣
“I wish I’d done this sooner.”⁣
⁣
Not because their skin is suddenly perfect (though it usually is so much better) but because for the first time in a long time, they feel like someone actually listened.⁣
⁣
Listened to the years of trying every product.⁣
Listened to the dermatologist visits that ended in another prescription.⁣
Listened to the gut feeling that something deeper was going on.⁣
⁣
That’s the part of this work I love most. Adult acne is rarely just a skin issue - it’s hormonal, digestive, inflammatory, and emotional. And when we finally treat it like the whole-body conversation it is, things shift. Often quickly.⁣
⁣
If you’re tired of fighting your skin alone, I’d love to help.⁣

What changes when we treat adult acne from the inside out: ⁣
→ The breakouts that used to show up like clockwork before your period? They quiet down.⁣
→ The inflammation along your jawline and chin? It calms.⁣
→ The “why is my skin worse at 38 than it was at 18?” frustration? It finally has an answer.⁣
→ The 12-step skincare routine you’ve been white-knuckling? You can let some of it go.⁣
→ The way you feel walking into a room without checking your reflection first? That comes back too.⁣
⁣
This is the work I get to do with clients every week as a Naturopathic Doctor and it’s some of the most rewarding work there is.⁣
⁣
We look at the root causes: hormones, gut health, blood sugar, stress, inflammation, nutrient status. ⁣
We test instead of guess. ⁣
We build a plan that’s specific to you, not a generic protocol.⁣
And then we watch your skin and your confidence return. ⁣
⁣
If your skin has been telling you something is off, let’s listen.⁣

I have a confession to make - as a teenager and into my 20’s I tried some dubious things to clear my acne including toothpaste as a spot treatment.⁣
I know, it sounds crazy. How did I even think that was a good idea?!⁣
⁣
Well, toothpaste actually used to effectively dry out pimples and make them disappear faster because it contained Triclosan (a now controversial antibacterial agent that we now know may contribute to the development of antibiotic resistance). Other common toothpaste ingredients, like baking soda, hydrogen peroxide, and alcohol, also promoted that drying effect...but it doesn’t mean they are good for your skin.⁣
⁣
DO NOT USE TOOTHPASTE AS A SPOT TREATMENT⁣
Drying out your pimples with toothpaste will inevitably leave your skin dry and irritated...and that’s not the worst of it. Leave that toothpaste on your pimple a little too long and your skin could literally burn.⁣
⁣
At the end of the day, toothpaste is made for your teeth, not your face. Your teeth are much less sensitive than the skin on your face, let alone skin that is inflamed by a zit. Other ingredients found in toothpaste such as menthol and fluoride can only make irritation worse and may even lead to more breakouts or skin concerns.⁣
⁣
Although it’s a trick that’s been passed on for many generations, it’s one that should definitely be debunked. Instead of reaching for the nearest bottle of toothpaste, try the following instead:⁣
1. Cleanse your skin⁣
2. Ice that zit to reduce inflammation⁣
3. Apply an effective, non-irritating spot treatment like Osmosis MD Rescue Epidermal Repair Serum or Priia Mineral Derm Calm Down Powder (both are available at www.naturaldermstore.ca)

Adult acne isn’t just about your skin. ⁣
⁣
It’s the meeting where you can’t stop thinking about your chin.⁣
It’s the photo you ask someone to retake.⁣
It’s the makeup you reapply three times before leaving the house.⁣
It’s the small, exhausting voice that says “why is this still happening to me?”⁣
⁣
If you’re in your 30s, 40s, or beyond and still dealing with breakouts - you are not alone, and you are not doing something wrong.⁣
⁣
Adult acne is almost always a signal. Hormones. Gut health. Stress. Inflammation. Nutrient deficiencies. Your skin is trying to tell you something and it usually isn’t “use a stronger cleanser.”⁣
⁣
As a Naturopathic Doctor, my job is to listen to that signal. To run the right testing. To look at your whole picture - not just your face - and build a plan that actually addresses why this is happening.⁣
⁣
Because clear skin shouldn’t feel like a guessing game. And you deserve to stop fighting your reflection.⁣

Adult acne isn't just about your skin.

It's the meeting where you can't stop thinking about your chin.
It's the photo you ask someone to retake.
It's the makeup you reapply three times before leaving the house.
It's the small, exhausting voice that says "why is this still happening to me?"

If you're in your 30s, 40s, or beyond and still dealing with breakouts - you are not alone, and you are not doing something wrong.

Let's talk about something that might surprise you 👇

A 2022 JAMA study found that nearly 60% of supplements purchased on Amazon had major red flags - inaccurate labels, undisclosed ingredients, and products that didn't match what was advertised on the bottle.

Read that again. Nearly 60%.

As a Naturopathic Doctor, this is exactly why I'm so particular about where my patients source their supplements. The wellness industry has exploded, and unfortunately, so has the market for counterfeit, expired, and improperly stored products being sold through third-party sellers.

Here's what you need to know:
✨ Many supplement brands do NOT authorize Amazon sellers, meaning what you're buying may be counterfeit or diverted product
✨ Supplements require specific storage conditions - heat exposure during shipping/warehousing can degrade active ingredients
✨ Without verification, you have no way of knowing if what's in the bottle matches the label
✨ Some products have been found to contain undisclosed ingredients that could interact with medications or cause harm

This is why I dispense through FullScript 🌿
When you order through my FullScript dispensary, you're getting:
✔️ Practitioner-grade supplements sourced directly from manufacturers
✔️ Products stored and shipped under proper conditions
✔️ Verified authenticity - no counterfeits, ever
✔️ Brands I've personally vetted for quality and efficacy

Your health is too important to gamble on. The cheapest option online isn't actually a deal if the product doesn't contain what it claims or worse, contains something it shouldn't.

Comment "LINK" or DM me and I'll send you my FullScript dispensary so you can shop with confidence 💚
